full thottle switch - how ammeters work




Patrick, all the mA or mV talk is CIS-E....DPR current tests.  You have NO DPR on CIS-Lambda....you have a frequency valve...and the only way to test what the computer is telling the frequency valve to do, is with a Dwell meter.

Hope that clears up your confusion.

I am sorry if my email offended, it was not ment that way.

well I have ordered a new multimeter that will do Dwell, so that will solve
the problem, but now I am confused, if dwell is not mA nor mV , then why
everyone talks about a mA reading on the test lead or am I so dense that I
am mixing up things together and doing a process of self confusion and in
annoyance by everyone with my dumb ass questions..
